Wham Bam See Ya Later, Man!!!!!

The boys wrestled at the Coral Springs Seahorse Invitational last weekend. Maxwell was 2-1 and got second place in his weight class. I got Maxwell's 2nd match on video and boy was it great. Maxwell was on fire and whooped this kid good. Normally, Maxwell is very stoic but you can tell by the way he pushes himself to his feet afterward that he's excited. Well, as his father, I can tell so take my word for it.

Smackdown!

Maxwell is starting to show real improvement this year. He and Trevor participated in a tournament at Coral Glades High School. Maxwell went 2-2 with all four matches ending in pins.Trevor got 2nd place in the 171 pound class but there was only one other opponent in that class. We all thought that was kind of funny and Trevor was happy to claim his silver medal.

I like to video all of the matches but usually get so excited I forget that I'm recording, hence that bad video at times. I did catch what I consider to Maxwell's best round which ended in his opponent getting pinned. Winning isn't everything but it sure is fun.

Brotherhood Defined

The boys had a wrestling tournament today called the Calvary Call Out. It is basically a practice tournament where the wrestlers wrestle as many matches as they can with other boys in their same weight class. Maxwell (16) sat out because he's recovering from a minor concussion incurred in practice this week. Trevor participated and went 0-5. That's what happens when your a 6'2" lanky 14 year old who has to wrestle more physically mature 17-18 year old young men.

Just before Trevor's last match, I heard big brother Maxwell offering Trevor some pre-match advice and quickly snapped a photo of the two brothers practicing together. This is what sports, teamwork and brotherhood is all about. The older boys helping the younger boys. I'll stop there because I can't  articulate it any where near as well as this picture does.

These are my boys, Trevor and Maxwell. Boy, do they make me proud.
